Ladies, while it may be tempting to have a romantic tryst while you’re in a land far away, rely on your judgment. I’d say this to you in any part of the world, and especially in India, where casual encounters are less popular than many other countries. Given how Tinder has taken over the consciousness of city singles, the double standard is surprising. Remember, it tends to usually happen in known circles or with known and trusted partners.
